Remember when Sunset yelled at Twilight for putting everyone's "lives in danger?" Well, Rarity does, and she's a bit confused—after all, how could their lives be in danger when it's quite literally impossible for humans to die?

A few hours after saving the Friendship Games, Sunset Shimmer and her good friend Twilight Sparkle are relaxing on the CHS lawn. The two are so close that Sunset finally feels like she can ask a question that's been on her mind for a while.

"Can I go home?"

I'm a ordinary guy at school, nothing special. As I moved into town, I had to go to Canterlot High school, where I met the most wonderful girl, Sunset Shimmer. There is a jerk named Flash Sentry, and some other five awesome gals. But what I want to do the most, is protect this girl.

At a ordinary day in class, Cheerilee signs up a task that involves two people to pretend to be a married couple and experience the feeling of how tough it is to be in a relationship with another person. I got to team up with my new crush, Sunset Shimmer. As I continued to hang out with Sunset more often, something more sparks between us.

When Twilight Sparkle was just a kid, her best friend was a girl named Sunset Shimmer. Though their friendship had a bit of a rocky start, they quickly became inseparable, no matter how much everyone thought of them as ‘weird’. They were there for each other.

Were.

Years after the tragic accident that tore them apart, Twilight is determined to move on from her loss, and she sets off on an independent research project to investigate the strange happenings at Canterlot High. Little does she know that she will soon come face to face with what appears to be a literal ghost from her past.

Long before Nightmare Moon's banishment two ponies played together in a beautiful garden next to a giant castle. One was a ash colored colt and the other a navy blue filly. Then from a high window came a shout. The navy blue filly turned and ran into the castle promising to meet again later. However that will never happen.

While relaxing after a performance, the Rainbooms discover Sunset has scars that she definitely didn't have before the Fall Formal.

Principal Celestia has accidentally fallen through the mirror into Equestria, and it may be a bit before she can go home. Until then, she has to learn to cope with a strange world, in a strange body.

At the same time, Twilight has to figure out how she can help her new guest while keeping Equestria from freaking out over the presence of a second Celestia, and Sunset Shimmer has to figure out how she is going to make amends with those she had left behind in Equestria, while keeping an eye on her Principal.

Disclaimer: Since I wrote this description ages ago before I even knew the plot, the story is mostly pure comedy in the beginning, with eventual Sunlight and Chryslestia shipping!

Sunset Shimmer loves Twilight Sparkle. Twilight was her first friend, the first one to forgive her. And yet Sunset rarely sees her. She misses her dearly.

This feeling in Sunset's heart soon turned to love, and nothing could stop this love from growing stronger. But a simple mistake, a misinterpreted exchange of words, could be all that is needed to stop it from blossoming.
